Sherlock Holmes: The Coils of Time & Other Stories

Upon Sherlock Holmes' return to London after the Great Hiatus, he thwarted the murderous plans of Colonel Sebastian Moran, but what happened after that? Here, for the first time, learn what really drew Holmes back to London, the truth about the strange Vanishments and the East End Ghosts, and how the entirety of Time & Space was contained in a single night. In other stories, we learn exactly what Mrs Hudson's life was like with the most troublesome lodger in London, what Watson witnessed in lonely Antarctic seas on the way back from Afghanistan in 1880, how Inspector Lestrade solved an apparently impossible crime without the help of "Mr Sherlock bloody Holmes," the travails of a 1950s television actor caught up in the life of the world's most famous consulting detective, the true events of the Battle of the East India Docks during the infamous War of the Worlds, and how a brave little dog channeled his inner Sherlock Holmes. "Sherlock Holmes: The Coils of Time," completely revised for this edition, is back in print and available to fans after a long hiatus; the other tales in this book have never before been published in any form.
